Water Use
We design and operate our facilities to help reduce fresh-water use and tailor our use of fresh
water to local conditions. We carefully manage our water use and discharges at these facilities.
Our impact assessments help us to understand better the water risks for our projects and
broader impact on the surrounding watershed. 194 fresh water withdrawn
Water plays an important role in our production processes and site maintenance. Our
approach to water use focuses on three main objectives, minimizing the consumption of fresh
water, ensuring clean water to watersheds and addressing real-time community water
concerns.
We evaluate the long-term sustainability of water resources to select the options that avoid or
minimise disruption to the environment and other users. We use a combination of tools to help
us do this, including the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas.
In 2021, the Pernis refinery in the Netherlands concluded a review of how we manage
rainwater, cooling and process water at the site. The results highlighted a range of water
management improvements, such
as making maintenance work more efficient by identifying the most water-critical equipment,
as well as adding water quality to the Pernis leadership team’s permanent agenda.
